| Title | Letter from Henry J [John] Smith, University Museum, Oxford, to [Joseph Larmor] |
| Creator | Smith; Henry John Stephen (1826-1883); Irish mathematician |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 13 February 1881 |
| Description | He gives thanks for the copy of 'Geometry of conics' which contains matter wholly, or in part, new to him. He finds the historical part interesting, and Larmor's notion of the old and new geometry forming a continuous whole, rather than separated by 'some sort of chasm' with different principles and laws of reasoning on each side. |
